Cx43 protein but not mRNA is downregulated in high-grade astrocytomas.
The interaction of Cx43 with Src modifies the binding to important proteins, such as ZO-1 and tubulin.
The inhibition of Src promoted by Cx43 reduces cell cycle, glucose uptake and stem cell phenotype.
20">The sequence of Cx43 that interacts with Src could be a source of inspiration for new glioma therapies.
